Israel has demanded that the UN’s secretary general retract comments he made about the Gaza war and apologise.

António Guterres said in a speech to the Security Council on Tuesday that he condemned unequivocally Hamas’s deadly attacks in Israel two weeks ago but that they “did not happen in a vacuum”.

Israeli ambassador Gilad Erdan accused him of “justifying terrorism” and called for his immediate resignation.

    Most israelis have more in common with Arabs than differences

    The Arabs will literally exterminate them.

        it’s not like the region is long and storied history of feuds between people with different religions or anything.

        These aren’t happy little secular cultures like the west (and even the West has problems with Christianity even though Christianity is mostly neutered nowadays). These are shitty backwards ass cultures founded in false religions and theocratic dictatorships who can and will do everything in their power to purge all those who don’t believe what they’re supposed to.

        When hamas was founded their explicit aim was to get rid of all the Jews. They were voted in by popular support.

            It’s the truth and nothing but.

            Would you like to point me to the secular and accepting middle east so I can revise my understanding?

            Nah, that isn’t racist.

            Here’s the racist version:

            Sand removeds gon’ sand nigg. They’ve been sand nigging for thousands of years and they will continue to sand nigg regardless of outsiders attempts to interfere.

            Honestly we should just leave them to it
